Trans African Network Development

The TANDEM project aims to create favorable conditions for WACREN (West and Central African Research and Education Network) to be able to participate in the forthcoming AfricaConnect project extension and to draw maximum benefit from it, and thereby to ensure WACREN’s integration into the global Research and Education networking community.

TANDEM’s long-term goal is to make it possible for researchers and academics to contribute with their peers around the world to the socio-economic development of the West and Central African Region.
TANDEM will include focus on services for user groups, including raising awareness of the benefits of eduroam and identity federations.

The project will promote and reinforce, by focusing on research topics such as health, food security, the
environment, connectivity and the implementation of global e-infrastructure services, the
deployment of a Regional Research and Education Network (RREN) and their interconnection with
the European Research and Education network (GÉANT). To be more effective towards this goal,
TANDEM also includes among its partners DANTE, UBUNTUNET and CLARA, all of which are
directly involved in issues related to global interconnections of international networks.

Purpose

The Platform for African – European Partnership in Agricultural Research for Development (Phase II) is to build joint African-European multi-stakeholder partnerships in agricultural research for development. PAEPARD II nurtures partnerships to increase the quantity and quality of joint proposals (leading to more funded initiatives).

PAEPARD II not only focuses on FP7, but includes other European Commission (EDF, EC Budget through the FSTP) and bilateral funding instruments supporting ARD that might be mobilized for emerging ARD partnerships.
